I'm happy for Japanese fans who have been waiting for this mold, and for IDW fans that love the IDW molds painted in comic accurate colors and details, but you know what? I'm FINE with the Hasbro release this time.

I'm happy enough with Hasbro's. If this had been a more G1 toy deco, I might have bitten.

Not bad but honestly I don't mind the Hasbro domestic version. The sculpt alone is enough to be IDW skids without having to have a 100% accurate deco.

I'm actually a little surprised... I just sort of assumed Japan had received their Skids already.
That said, I'm satisfied with Hasbro's like everyone else he so far. The pink highlights clash with the rest I of the color scheme and the paint just can't quite capture the look of the glowing bits. Takara's WFC and FoC figures had the same problem IMHO.

Yeah, they should've just all been leader class figures with fiber-optics running along their bodies

I think that takara's pink highlights on the FOC figures works better because there are outlines and details meant reflect the energon glow. They were just left unpainted in the north american domestic release.

I missed out on the Hasbro version, so I'll most likely get this!

Considering I was going to pay £45 for the Hasbro version only a few weeks ago and decided not too,this is a definite buy for me. Looks great

Same. This looks lovely and I'm tempted but I could save a lot just getting the reprolables to give him those accents. It is very nice though.
Now Jhiaxus on the other hand, even if it's an ehobby like drift I'll pay that price for G2 colors

I share the same feelings. Though I do like the black constrasting against the missile pods. The fact that it will be 2-3 years between the Hasbro and Takara version gives those who couldnt get or dont have the Hasbro one another chance to get this mold/character, so thats awesome!

Ha! I hope it wouldn't take that much!
I didn't mean to sound like I was complaining about what they didn't do, but just observe what they might not be able to do. I'm just not convinced they can get paint that looks like that kind of glow (and not...you know...paint), at least not within even Takara's higher budget guidelines.
I should have mentioned that my Hasbro figure is Reprolabled. The foil decals do a fairly good job, since they have a patterned design and the reflectiveness "lights" them, but that's not something I'd automatically expect or demand from Hasbro or Takara.
Now, if you all will excuse me, I'm off to search my soul for why I think pink stripes on blue and red is ugly, yet enjoy Jhihaxus' orange deco.

Takara has taken the term "lipstick on a pig" to another level with those horrible pink lines.

However, they are comic accurate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The pink makes him look a bit like the old Skram toy. I like it! I actually never got Hasbro's Skids, just Crosscut, so I might have to pick this version up.
edit: Definite buy. The more I look at it the more I want it. Now!
